Tour Overview

Cape Town sits where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet, beneath Table Mountain on the shores of Table Bay. A working harbour, celebrated vineyards, fine beaches and mountains rich in flora and fauna all sit within easy reach of each other and you’ll spend four nights here exploring the city and Stellenbosch Winelands.

Here you’ll track the Big Five across grassy plains and savanna, alongside a wide range of recorded bird species.

Today we’ll venture to Stellenbosch, the Cape's second oldest town, surrounded by mountains and vineyards. At its heart is Dorp Street, its historic main road that began life as the original wagon route between Cape Town and Stellenbosch. The route carried wine, wheat and post by ox cart long before it carried tourists.

Take time to wander at your own pace, past Cape Dutch and Victorian buildings that now house coffee shops and bakeries offering freshly-baked pastries as well as art galleries and boutique stores. Look out for Oom Samie se Winkel, a vintage trading store that operates today as it always has, and the Stellenbosch Hotel, one of the street's oldest buildings.

On arrival in Johannesburg, you’ll be met by our local Travelsphere representative who will transfer you to Royal Morubisi Founders Lodge, located in the Kaingo Private Game Reserve. This is a 16,400-hectare Waterberg Biosphere and UNESCO site renowned for its diverse landscape. It is South Africa’s original savannah biosphere reserve and is home to many different types of wildlife.

Meals included: B,D
River cruise

Day 7 Kaingo Private Game Reserve

We rise early and enjoy tea, coffee and South African rusks on the lodge veranda before heading out on our first morning game drive. Knowledgeable and qualified guides will lead you through different areas of the reserve in search of the resident ‘Big Five, along with rarer species such as cheetah, tsessebe, brown hyena and pangolin. On each drive the guide will talk to you about the animals’ natural habitat, their behaviours, and their role in the eco-system. Royal Morubisi is one of the only lodges in the reserve so it’s unlikely you’ll see any other vehicle while tracking the wildlife. We’ll stop for morning coffee at one of the viewpoints before returning to the lodge for breakfast.

Take time to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Your lodge is situated close to the Mokolo River, meaning 'deep and silent” in the Tswana language. The river threads its way along a thirteen-kilometre route through the reserve and this afternoon we will board a sundowner boat cruise with an expert guide, watching for hippos, crocodiles and birdlife.

Meals included: B,L,D
Bush walk

Day 8 Kaingo Private Game Reserve

This morning we’ll take bush walk to focus on the often-missed smaller details such as animal tracks, signs and the chance to encounter the Big Five on foot. We finish this experience with an al fresco brunch served close to the river.

This afternoon is free to relax by the pool before an afternoon game drive. It offers another opportunity to take in more of the reserve’s wildlife and geology. We’ll find the perfect spot for a sundowner and watch the sun slowly set across the landscape.

We’ll make the most of the setting by serving dinner in the outdoor, lantern-lit boma with tables set up around the fire. For cooler nights, there’s also a cosy bar and lounge with an open fire inside the lodge. On one of the evenings during your stay, you’ll be treated to a performance of tribal dancing and an African drumming session.

Meals included: B,L,D
Kaingo Game Reserve

Days 9 - 11 Kaingo Private Game Reserve

We settle into a routine of sunrise and sunset game drives in this diverse reserve. Mornings might take you across the grassy plains and savannah, home to animals such as giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and impala. Evenings could bring elephant or lion sightings in the mountain bushveld.

During the day you can relax and enjoy the facilities at your lodge. Perhaps enjoy a treatment in the spa while listening to the sound of hippos in the distance or join one of the activities arranged with the friendly lodge staff such as birdwatching or fishing on the Mokolo River.

Research and conservation sit at the heart of life at Royal Morubisi. The team are deeply committed to conservation and research, and the full tourism income goes towards positive conservation. One evening, the lodge team will share with you the fascinating details of ongoing projects and the contribution your stay makes to the reserve.
